My child learnt Samskritam in school (back in India). Can he/she join a higher level?
Usually, our recommended process is to start either at Mathura/Gokulam/Govardhanam depending on the age and school grade of the child to build the foundation around spoken Samskritam. In any case, exceptions are directly handled by individual teachers. Please discuss with your teacher during orientation.

I am an adult with no prior knowledge of Samskritam. What should I expect in the adult classes?
All adult classes, including the beginner's classes, are taught in Samskritam (as the medium of instruction). Adult beginners have to a attend a mandatory in-person 10-day workshop (spanning 15-20 hours) so that they can be prepared for the adult beginner's classes. Speaking knowledge of any Indian language is a pre-requisite to attend the 10-day workshop.
